Allen D. Wiseman

1961 - 2020

Allen D. Wiseman, son of Betty and Herman (Hughes) Wiseman, quietly passed away Sunday, December 20, 2020, at home in Decatur, Nebraska, with his Mom and family by his side.

Allen was born January 1, 1961 in Onawa, Iowa. He attended grade school and high school at Decatur Public Schools. He did continue his education at Northeast Tech Community College in Norfolk, for auto mechanics. When he was done with college, he returned home to work for Paul Richards. He could rebuild starters, carbs and alternators like no other. He did work for the U.S Army Corps of Engineers for a few years.

Al was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 23. When he was no longer able to work, he enjoyed being outside with his nieces, nephews, and of course, his dog Bubba.   His love for music was endless. He spent hours just listening to his favorite albums and playing his guitar.

Allen was preceded in death by his father, Herman; grandma, Leona Wiseman; grandparents, Robert and Beulah Hughes; aunt and uncle, Jana and Putsy Worley, Roberta and Neal Forrester; uncles, Gene Rowell and Jim Jacobs; cousin, Jerry Dell; good friend, Robert “Myrna” Sparks.

He is survived by his mother, Betty Wiseman; sister, Patti (Tom) DeCora; brother, Paul “Toad” Forrester; nephews: Phillip, Shannon, RyLee and Kyler; nieces: Laura (Sean), Kayla F., Mirrah, and Lyla; close friends: Mike Farrens, Ivan Marr, Bobby Brewer, Todd Claussen, Mark Mussack, and James “Tuna” Phelps.
